Praise God for His FAITHFUL provision! We reached our financial goal! Thank you to all of you who bought a t-shirt, came to our benefit, helped with garage sales, donated money, and supported us through prayer and friendship. We are amazed that the part that seemed the most daunting...the finances...has actually been the least of our worries thus far. We have seen the money not just trickle in, but flood in! Continually we are filled with gratitude and reminded once again that God funds what He favors!! Adoption is at the center of His heart!
Any day now we should hear word from our social worker that we are on the waiting list. Last night we finished and ordered our profile book which is a scrapbook that the birth-parents look through to help choose the adoptive parents. Now we are finished with all paperwork, scrapbooks, interviews, fund-raising, etc, and we just wait, hope, and TRUST that God is bringing our child(ren) to us.
If the birth mom wants to meet us, we will be able to walk along side her in her pregnancy. But if she'd rather not meet us, we could literally find out the day of, or day before we go to get our baby. In the meantime we will begin to prepare our hearts, prepare the room, and PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! In a way we are pregnant, but just don't know when we are expecting. Since there are no physical signs, there is no acknowledgement of us being "pregnant", but our hearts are pregnant with anticipation to meet our precious child.
